Shark In The Park!

Book Synopsis

A special edition of this much-loved classic to celebrate 20 FIN-TASTIC years!

Timothy Pope, Timothy Pope, what can you see through your telescope?
Is there really a shark in the park? Go on, be brave, open the book and see!

Timothy Pope has a brand new telescope and he’s testing it out at the park. Peep through the die-cut holes in this book to see if you can spy a shark. Is that really a shark? Turn the page and find out . . .

A delightful, entertaining story – with its rhyming text and ingenious die-cut pages, it’s a book children will want to read again and again.

Our Review Panel says...

This is the ultimate rhyming story book for preschool, by the much-loved illustrator Nick Sharratt.

Timothy Pope heads to the park with his telescope, but when he looks down it and is sure he sees a shark, we soon learn that things are not always as they seem! There are flaps and die-cut holes to explore, making this a memorable interactive story choice.

The repeated refrains of Timothy Pope, Timothy Pope, what can you see through your telescope? and ‘Is there a shark in the park?’ are remarkably catchy and will quickly have children joining in. A really fun must-read book for EYFS children!
